I have Rainbows in my AR850

Arrive on Saturday and leave Wednesday so plenty of time.

Need to buy some supplies and LOOK at the fish, much as i would like to, don't think I can buy any as flying home early in the morning and would have to keep them bagged from previous day. Do any of these stores ship?

I'm visiting the big smoke for a few days, any recommendations on the best spots to visit?

Obviously I will ask my local store if they are on the list, and if they can get some in, I'll do it that way. I know there's a 2 footer in the garage. What sort of stocking would that allow?

Hmmmmm, I'm heading to Chch in a couple of weeks. If I got a small tank up and running with some media from my big tank......................................this could be do able! :roll:

ok, so I would have to culture whiteworm or something to feed them?

Have fallen in love with these wee fish but don't know much about them. In fact I confess, I've not even seen them in the flesh but would love to set up a wee tank for them as I hear they are on the fish list. Anyone keep these fish, any tips?

love the loaches especially the little guy with the saddle type markings. The big guy looks great, most i have seen at that size are starting to look a little faded.

Ok, what I mean is, the tank comes with this lighting: 2 x 30" 25 watt T8 bulbs, 1 x 23.5" 20 watt T8 bulb. I'm just starting out with a planted tank, are these lights adequate for plant growth and if not what should I replace them with? One of the bukbs has a distinctly purple light, does this have a purpose or is it just cosmetic, my fish seem to like it!! Hope this makes things clearer.

what's the mosr effective way to use the lighting that comes with this tank? Cheers

They have stocked fish for awhile now, not a huge selection but all in good condition and then there's the shop in Perkins Road, he has been up there for years but haven't you got pleny of selection down there?

Yes, i thought they were a pretty little fish. Might go back and see how many there are, if there's a good school I think I'll get them. I'm not keen on regular Harlequins at all but these are nice.

yes, that's them I think but the one's I saw had brighter colouring. Will google purple rasbora.
